In spite of its minuscule size, this PC has surprisingly solid specs. It features a fourth-generation quad-core 2GHz Intel Core i5 processor, integrated Intel HD Graphics 4600, 8GB of RAM, a 128GB solid-state drive, six USB 3.0 ports, an Ethernet port, a VGA port, and a DisplayPort. A USB keyboard and mouse combo ship along with this model for free, so you'll simply need to plug into an existing display to get up and running.

Measuring 7.17 by 1.4 by 6.93 inches (HWD), you have plenty of options for storage. Sure, you could simply set it on your desk, and it wouldn't take up too much space, but Dell offers a number of stands and mounts that can free up even more of your workspace. During the customization process, you can add a vertical stand, a VESA mount, or even a clamp-mount arm for your desk.

A three-year limited hardware warranty is included in your purchase so you'll be eligible for onsite/in-home service if you run into certain hardware failures. And if that's not enough, upgrading to ProSupport for an additional fee will give you access to round-the-clock phone support and next-business-day onsite service.

The Optiplex 9020 Micro comes with Windows 7 Professional (64 bit) installed by default. Not only will you get all of the features found in the Home version, but you'll have access to business-oriented functionality as well. Remote Desktop hosting, XP mode for legacy software, and EFS support are all available with Windows 7 Professional, so you'll find it a superb fit for the office.
